Municipal court exists in
approximately 397 cities in Kansas
and have jurisdiction over violations
of municipal ordinances occurring
within the city limits. It is these
courts that most citizens come into
contact with the administration of
justice.
The majority of cases in the municipal court consist of violations of city traffic ordinances. Other cases include violation of City ordinances including curfew violations, property misdemeanors, person misdemeanors, and traffic misdemeanors.
A person is not entitled to a trial by jury in municipal court; all evidence is heard by the municipal judge. If a person is convicted, the judge may impose a fine, a jail sentence, or both, in accordance with city ordinance. An appeal from the municipal court may be taken to the district court of the county. The appeal will be heard by a jury if the defendent make a timely, written request for a jury trial. However, there is no right to a jury trial in an appeal of an ordinance traffic infraction case or a cigarette or tobacco violation case, and such a case must be tried by the court.
